Speed
Render-blocking requests
2.2 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 79). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Hubspot and others), adding 1.4 MB and 749 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 417 ms
417 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 417 ms of main-thread work and 655 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Reduce unused JavaScript
333 KiBAbout 333 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
website-files.com adds 60 ms
60 mswebsite-files.com costs a phone 60 ms of main-thread work and 447 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 188 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 17 KiBAbout 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
163 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (163 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
7 KiB1 image could be 7 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed

Images and page weight
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.43 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.43 g of CO₂e: 51.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.5 MB in 94 requests
1.5 MBYour homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 94 requests on a phone: scripts 993 KiB (35), fonts 222 KiB (5) and images 129 KiB (29). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats

Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 103 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
